THE CROSS-EYED IOWA PRIMITIVE
Original message
My wife wound up in the ER today.
Today, after a family lunch, we decided to go out to the park, and she started getting tightness on her chest, and she was complaining of pain, hot flashes and stuff. We initially thought she was having an heart attack or something similar (I originally attributed it to acid reflux).
I drove her to the hospital, less than 5 minutes from our house. She was seen almost immediately due to priority for chest pain by the resident who had his arm in a sling. He ordered EKG's and bloodwork, and both turned out to be normal. He quickly focused on gastric issues and ordered an ultrasound and found out that she has gallstones.
She was given morphine through IV, which the pain abasted. 4 hours after being seen in the ER, she was released to go home with pain meds and referral to see the GI specialist about removing the gallstones. We will make an appointment after the Passover holiday is over, but it was a scary moment, but our little hospital (Rose Medical Center) has earned major props for taking care of my wife so quickly.
Insurance stuff came later, because she was a previous patient at Rose last year, they still had her insurance and confirmed valid for the tests the Dr ordered.
Sometimes things work quickly, sometimes when a person is in a real serious pain, (when she was admitted to the ER she had very low blood pressure, which the IV helped and her BP elevated to a point where she can tolerate morphine) things have priorities. The ER was surprisingly pretty full for a early Tuesday afternoon.
It was a scary moment, but at least she's okay and sitting across the room on her computer.
Well, one's happy for that.

I hope Hawkeye-X remembers this incident and the care his wife received. In about 5 years if Obamacare isnt stopped, future visits will be nothing like this.

She could probably see her computer better if she wasn't sitting on it. Anyway, I'm glad her pain is abasted.

Yeah, the primitives can be funny when they try medicalspeak, as if they know what they're talking about.

That caught my eye. I just shook my head.

I think that is what you call a kid in Boston that does not know who their father is

That is what emergency rooms are for DUmmie. If all of you idiots didn't use them for every little cough and sniffle, it would be much better.
Is the cross-eyed primitive from Iowa? I ask, because the only Rose Medical Center I can find is in Denver. Coincidentally:

Yeah, he's a native Iowan but now lives in Denver.

I was wondering. DUmmies like to use current news items for their bouncies. It seemed like he read the article and decided to back it up with his own story.

Obamacare ER, "Severe chest pains, huh? Come back 3 weeks from Friday and we might be able to squeeze her in then."

I've had two attacks of Kidney stones. Good Friday of last year put me in the ER. Neither time did I have a pain in my chest.

5 years from now they will be told to wait 6 weeks for the tests

I don't think so. By then, the whole mess will have been either: 1) Declared unconstitutional by the SCOTUS (Judge Andrew Napolitano was on Neil Cavuto's show on FNC yesterday outlining the arguments, which are entirely plausable), or 2) Repealled and replaced by common-sense health reform by an overwhelming Republican majority.

The problem is that as long as the jug-eared muslim is in office, any revision to socialized medicine will have to override his veto. Overriding a veto almost certainly means a bipartisan vote to get a 2/3 majority. Not gonna happen.

I was shocked as well. To think someone actually using the ER for what it was intended.

Aside from the "abasted", the "family lunch" caught my eye. Who has a family lunch on a Wednesday? Other than the perpetually unemployed.
